Photos From Sicily

This post is especially for the students at RVCS taking the Fundamentals of Photography class. I had the pleasure of meeting these budding photographers a few weeks before I left for Sicily and told them I would share with them some of the pictures I took this Fall.

I’ve missed a number of good shots over the last few weeks because I didn’t have my camera with me. I’m trying to get in the habit of not leaving the house without it. That said, here are a few that I’ve taken over the last 5 weeks.

I like that the “bambina” is looking directly at the camera and how you can see the reflection of the group of people we were with in the man’s sunglasses (this is my friend, Giuseppe and his friend’s daughter, by the way). I also think this photo does a good job reflecting just how warm and intense the sun can be here in Sicily.

I like the contrast the colorful toys provide but I may go back and re-edit this one to enhance the colors a bit more. What do you think?

Contrast anyone?

Leading lines are easy to both find and create!

Without even trying, I am very detail-oriented and love to draw attention to everyday objects that are easy for folks to overlook because they see them everyday.

I particularly like photographing most anything with texture. I am wishing I had a used a slightly smaller aperture so a little bit more of the “crispelle” would be in focus but I am sure I will have more opportunities to retake this shot in the future.

What do you think of these photos? What I’ve seen so far of the ones you’ve posted on your blog, look great! Keep up the good work and let me know if there’s anything I can help you guys with!

Is there anything in particular you want to see photos of from here in Sicily? The food? Landscape? Fashion? Architecture? Let me know by leaving a comment at the bottom of the page and I’ll do my best to post some more photos before the end of the semester.

He Is Faithful Still
